The 16th chapter. Thanks for the reviews!!
--------------------------------------------------------
Hermione woke up with a start. "Mind your own business and how did you know I was leaving?"
Seamus looked back at her, holding up a piece of parchment. "You dropped this in the common room. I was going to give it back to you, but then I read what it said. Then I saw all your stuff packed up and knew you had agreed to running away with him."
"Well why is it any business of yours if I run away or not? It's my life! You haven't spoken to me since....that moment. Now you come back here, apparently having a reason why I shouldn't leave you behind? Why I shouldn't leave this behind?"
"Hermione, do you want to leave this behind?" Seamus asked her, squeezing her hand as though if he let go, she would run away. Hermione jerked her hand away, turning her back on him.
"I certainly wouldn't mind leaving this bullshit behind. The things people believe about me! If I go out with Draco, I'll give a chance to anybody! Or that I will just go to you when you call for me? Im not like that Seamus and I thought you of all people would understand that."
"I do understand! Everyone saw that episode you had in charms class and Ive seen what its like for you here. I know that to an extent you want to be with Draco, and get out of here. I respect that. Leaving is your desision but I want you to hear what I have to say." Seamus looked at the back of her. He wished she would turn around and look him in the eyes.
Hermione did as he had hoped, and turned around. "What makes you think I would be intrested in what you have to say?"
"Because, I stood by you, I understand you and whether you like it or not, you kissed me!"
"No Seamus, you kissed me. Not like I had a choice in the matter." Hermione retorted.
"But you did. You could have pushed me back before it happened. Or when it was happening. You didn't. That meant alot to me, that you didnt push me away and the fact that you kissed me means it meant SOMETHING to you!"
"You are the most concieted person! Do you know what Im feeling right now. You say you get me, what do I want Seamus, tell me that?" Hermione roared at him.
"Draco left you when things went wrong! Never wrote! The only reason you're running away is because of the people here that hate you. The person I know would never run away, but stand up to them."
"Shut up! Just leave me alone! Better yet, I'll leave you!" Hermione walked out, not knowing where she was going, but wanting to escape.
--------------------------------------------------------
Hermione ended up in the girls bathroom. She sat in one of the stalls, crying. She heard the door open and tried to be as quiet as possible.
"Did you hear about what happened with the little slut we share a room with?" Hermione recognised Parvait Patil's voice. Obviously with Lavender.
"What happened? Did she get back with Dean?" Lavender asked.
"After the little denial episode she had in class? Hardly! Remember in Divination, how we were reading the future through the tarot cards?"
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with it?"
"Well, remember how Seamus had like a Divination freak out and had a preminition? Nobody knew what the heck was happening. Well, he had a premenition about Hermione. I'll cut to the chase and tell you, Draco is still alive!"
"What?! No way! How did you find that out?" Lavender gasped. Hermione covered her mouth to keep from gasping out aswell.
"When sleeping beauty was having a snooze, I found this in her room. Letter from beyond the grave." Parvati began to read the letter aloud. "Hermione, I love you, but meeting you tonight will be impossible. My father is coming to the school, to discuss my death. I can't risk not being with you. So tomorrow at the astronomy tower. Blah blah blah.."
"Well, atleast we know Dean is yours now." Lavender broke the shocked silence.
"He was mine anyway. She shouldn't of had him in the first place! We have to teach her for messing with him. We should do the right thing, as Gryffindors, and tell Mr Malfoy that his son is still alive. It would save him the grief after all, and poor little Hermione will never be able to see Draco again."
Hermione gasped and more tears flooded her eyes. She ran out of the bathroom without thinking and up to the dormitory. Grabbing her stuff, she hopped on her broomstick. Making everything feather light with charms, so it would all balance. She couldn't wait for tomorrow to come, she left straight away.
--------------------------------------------------------
Lucius Malfoy had come to the school to withdraw all of Draco's records from the school. He was walking down the hall when the two Gryffindor girls came up to him.
"Mr Malfoy, we have something very important to tell you!" Lavender panted.
"What could you tell me that would be so important?" Lucius asked them.
"Your son is still alive. He sent this to Hermione. She ran off though. A while before you got here." Parvati handed Lucius the sheet of parchment.
Lucius read it and crumpled it in his hand. "I will find him and when I do, Draco will be moved so he can never see that girl again!" He walked off, forgetting about the school records and hopping on his broom.
Parvati and Lavender smirked at their triumph. "Poor Hermione. If she tries to steal my guy, I get rid of hers."
"That was a really shitty thing you did!" Seamus jumped out from where he was hiding.
"Why do you care? I know what you feel for her, don't try to deny it. You used to look at me that way after all." Lavender eyed him.
"I love her, sure! But she trusts me! If she wants to be with Draco, it's fine if it makes her happy!" Seamus answered.
"Well, I loved you. Now Im making you happy! You get to see her again. When Draco is out of the picture, you'll be in it. Don't tell me this doesn't work for you Seamus? I know your little mind." Lavender smirked at him.
"Shut up! I have to go find her! Before Lucius Malfoy!"
--------------------------------------------------------
Draco sat down in his cave, resting. He was woken up by thud. Hermione was right in front of him when he opened his eyes. Before he could say anything, she kissed him.
"I've missed you so much. I know I wasn't meant to meet you tonight, but this way we can be together. Say its okay."
"It's better than okay! I love you and you have no idea what it's been like, alone in these caves. Wondering if you will ever agree to run away with the person that hurt your feelings badly. I'm sorry I did, I just wanted us to be together and it was risky. I didn't want to screw up."
"Draco, shut up." Hermione joked, before kissing him again. "I love you. Where are we going to go though?"
"I don't care, as long as Im with you. But Hermione, I know how much school meant to you. I've known you for years now. Do you honestly believe you have made the right desison."
Hermione was more sure now than ever. "Yes, I believe I have."
--------------------------------------------------------
Draco and Hermione are back together. What happens next? With Lucius and Seamus both trying to find them. What will be the outcome? Chapter 17 will be up soon.
